A panel on how the midterm rigging can happen.
And, don’t read too much into the “blue wave” it’s harder and worse than ever.
Another bird in need!
My name is Clyde, and I am a handsome Military Macaw. I am only nine years young, with many decades of life ahead! But lately, I haven’t been feeling good. I’ve had some trouble breathing and eating on my own.
The doctors aren’t sure yet what’s wrong with me. I need some more exams. Can you make a gift to help me feel better and go back to my foster home for the holidays?
Here is the terrible painting I told you I would scan in and show you. I don’t like it. I’m having trouble again, with what kind of art I WISH I could do and the kind of artist I WISH I were.
I am super mad about a gallery open call I missed. It’s for a gallery here in town and I MISSED the open call and I’m so mad! It was one I chickened out on submitting to last year and I wanted in this year because it would be GOOD to be in with a local gallery- as in one I don’t have to drive an hour to get to. I tried to sign up for their newsletter but I don’t know if it worked.
I missed out on Rap1993 doll Biao. Or rather I was saved from myself. I tried to order the limited sale price one but the site wouldn’t let me order. I talked to the artist on Insta and followed her suggestions but it didn’t work anyway. l was honestly too tired and too on pain to a) make good decisions and b) to care that the order didn’t work. My arm is still wrecked. Worse than it was. I have an appointment in December but it hurts too much to make art or anything very comfortable. The pain is making me cranky. I want to work, I need to try things, but my arm hurts.
My art is up for sale! And not by me! Check out the Art as Power from Blind Insect Gallery! All the works are up! Including my two de-motivational cat painting. Which can be YOURS if you want them! But its nice I got into another show. When my arm is better I have some pieces I’m working on and I have an idea for slightly better acrylics so I’m gonna try it out when I can. Also started following an instgram account by a man who posts tips on acrylics and it’s given me some techniques to try out.
I’m waiting to hear back from two gallery shows. I think. I am going to get a stand-up desk calendar for this coming year so I can mark down gallery pick-up and submission periods. I need to get better at this. I seem to keep fucking up.
Anyway, happy holidays or fuck the holidays, whichever you prefer.
